The valve 20 is adapted to be closed or-partly closed to cut oil" the admission of the mixture to the heating space or decrease the amount admitted thereto when the engine has acquired suliicient speed to cause the cylinders to be heated,

so that the a'dditionallheating.efl'ec't in the intake "will be unnecessary. J

Having thus described my invention, What .I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patcut is: Y

1. The combination with a hydrocarbon motor having anintake conduit and an exhaust conduit, of a mixture. conveyin pipe below the intake conduit, a constantly up- Wardly extending conduit from said pipe to the intake conduit, 21. second upwardly extending conduit from said pipe to the intake conduit, said second conduit being in heating relation to the exhaust conduit and having a vaporizing pocket therein, and a valve for directing the mixture from the pipe to either of said upwardly extending'conduits.

2. The combination with a hydrocarbon motor, having intake and exhaust conduits, of a mixture conveying pipe below the intake conduit, two conduits extending substantiah ly in parallel constantly upwardly from said pipe to the intake conduit, one of said upwardly extending conduits being in heating relation to the exhaust conduit and having a vaporizing pocket therein, and a valve for directing the mixture from the pine to either of said upwardly extending conduits,

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
